Rahul Gandhi Pledges to Increase Rubber Price to ₹250 at Kerala Assembly Elections 2026 Rally in Central Travancore

Rahul Gandhi announced that the United Democratic Front (UDF) will introduce a new public health insurance scheme, which is set to provide coverage of up to ₹25 lakh. This initiative will be named in tribute to former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, who served the state of Kerala from 2004 to 2006 and again from 2011 to 2016.

The proposed scheme aims to enhance access to healthcare for citizens, addressing rising medical expenses and ensuring that more individuals can receive adequate medical attention without financial burden. By naming the scheme after Chandy, the UDF seeks to honor his contributions to public welfare, particularly in the health sector. Further details about the implementation and eligibility criteria for the insurance scheme are expected to be announced as part of the UDFs broader healthcare policy during the campaign.
